Surround yourself with people who don’t flinch when you bring your full self to the table.

The ones who can sit with both, your love and your hurt, your joy and your disappointment, your celebration and your honesty.

You deserve relationships where your feelings aren’t filtered, where you don’t have to choose between silence and connection. Healthy love makes room for the whole truth, not just the pretty parts.

Because if your voice only has value when it’s pleasant, then it’s not love, it’s performance.

It’s a real flex when you learn to let some things be instead of wasting your energy on battles that go nowhere.

Not every thought needs to be said. Not every point needs to be proven. Sometimes the choice is between repeating yourself endlessly or releasing it for your own peace.

Explanations lose their power when the other person refuses to receive them. At that point, silence becomes protection. Choosing to preserve your energy is choosing yourself.

Because your energy matters. Protect it like your life depends on it, because in many ways, it does.

What’s harder for you holding your tongue, or walking away when you’ve said enough?

Learning to rest isn’t always about sleep. Sometimes rest is boundaries.

It’s saying “no” when everything in you feels pressured to say yes.
It’s walking away from unhealthy interactions instead of staying tangled in them.
It’s ending circular conversations that go nowhere.
It’s minding your own peace instead of carrying other people’s drama.

Rest is the decision to protect your energy. Because the more you deplete yourself, the less of you there is to actually live your life.

Sometimes your circle has to change as you change.

It’s not easy. In fact, it’s often painful. Growth means outgrowing certain spaces, and that can bring real grief. But that grief also clears the path for alignment.

The people who match your present season, who reflect your values and your vision, are the ones you can actually build with. And sometimes you can’t find that alignment until you release what no longer fits.

Losing people hurts, but gaining clarity about who belongs with you now is a gift.

What’s been harder for you, letting go of people you’ve outgrown, or trusting the right ones will come?

Friendship will shift the moment you stop chasing people who don't meet you halfway. That’s it. No overexplaining. No begging. No bending yourself to keep the connection alive.

One key to a happy and whole life is simply doing life with people who actually want to do life with you. When effort is mutual, the relationship feels lighter. When presence is reciprocal, the bond feels stronger. And when you stop forcing it, you create space for the kind of friendships that actually fill you back up.

What we've noticed is that when many women finally reach out for therapy, it’s because they’ve tried everything else. They’ve carried the weight, leaned on their own strength, poured into everyone else, and run out of resources for themselves. That’s when they realize it’s time to ask for help.

But here’s the truth: healing is not quick. It’s not linear. It’s a layered process that unfolds over time. Some days it feels like progress, other days it feels like starting over. And both are part of the journey.

If you’re reading this, give yourself permission to take the time you need. Healing may not look the way you imagined, but what matters most is that you’re moving. You are on your path. You are exactly where you’re supposed to be.

So take a breath. Trust the process. You deserve to heal at your pace.

What’s harder for you, starting the healing journey, or trusting yourself to keep going once you’re on it?

If you’re ready to stop carrying the weight alone and begin your healing journey, schedule with Loretta Brand, MSC/MHC, LPC, CADC today

I want to remind you that growth almost always brings grief with it.

To move into new spaces, you often have to release what was once comfortable. And comfort isn’t always good for you, it’s just familiar. Leaning into discomfort is what stretches you, even when it hurts.

Grieve the loss of what was. Feel it fully. Because grief clears space for what’s next. You can’t carry every old version of yourself into the future you’re meant to step into.

Growth is costly, but it’s worth it.

There’s so much that comes with growing into who you’re becoming.

It’s not just exciting, it’s uncomfortable. You get caught between your old self and your future self, torn between what’s familiar and what’s possible. And nobody talks enough about the grief that comes with that.

Yes, grief. Because in order to step into who you’re becoming, you have to let go of pieces of who you were. That’s not easy. It takes time. It takes space. And it takes a willingness to sit with the loss of old patterns, old identities, even old versions of yourself.

But here’s the beauty. When you grieve, you make room. You create openness for potential. You give your future self a chance to breathe.

It’s a hard process, but it’s worth it.

As a client in therapy, you’re not just allowed to speak up, you’re supposed to.

If something isn’t working, say it. If you’d rather process by talking instead of doing homework, let your therapist know. Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. It should be shaped around what helps you heal.

Too many people quit therapy without ever addressing the disconnect. They walk away assuming therapy “doesn’t work” when really, the therapist just didn’t know what they needed.

Therapy is for you. Your voice matters in the room. Use it.

What’s been harder for you, starting therapy, or advocating for yourself once you’re in it?

You can have the career, the family, the picture-perfect life, and still be struggling. Success on the outside doesn’t erase the battles happening inside.

Perfection is a mask a lot of people wear. But here’s the truth: there’s no trophy for burnout. Nobody’s handing out medals for showing up for everyone else while quietly abandoning yourself.

Saying no doesn’t make you selfish. It doesn’t mean you’re letting people down. It means you finally realized that prioritizing yourself is not a weakness, it’s survival.

What’s been harder for you, dropping the mask of perfection, or learning how to say no without guilt?

If you’re tired of looking strong while feeling lost, schedule with Carmelita N. Young, LPC today. She specializes in helping women and couples navigate life transitions, build healthier boundaries, and find stability when success still feels empty. Visit www.peaceandharmonyllc.com

Therapy vs coaching.

Therapy isn’t surface-level. It’s not “microwave” results. It goes deeper than coaching.

In therapy, we assess you, not just the problem in front of you, but the history behind it. We gather information about what’s impairing your daily life, your medical and family background, substance use history, trauma, and anything relevant. From there, we diagnose and treat.

That’s why it’s not quick. We can’t promise a set number of sessions, because healing isn’t a formula. It’s a process. Therapy requires honesty with yourself and with your therapist. It requires showing up outside of the sessions, putting in action, and doing the hard work.

This isn’t coaching. This isn’t just talking. This is change.

Something people need to learn: therapy and coaching are not the same thing.

If you want someone to tell you what to do, map out steps, and push you toward a specific goal, that’s coaching. Coaches work on structure, accountability, and performance. They’re not trained to diagnose, and they’re not equipped to treat mental illness.

Therapy is different. Therapy is about healing, not quick fixes. It’s about uncovering patterns, processing trauma, and learning how to regulate emotions instead of just muscling through them. It’s deeper. It takes more time. And it isn’t supposed to look like coaching.

The problem is people walk into therapy expecting coaches. They want “just tell me what to do” answers. But if all you get is advice, you’re not actually healing. You’re just borrowing someone else’s opinion.

Coaches are for problems. Therapists are for healing. Know the difference.

Have you ever caught yourself expecting therapy to feel like coaching?
